Default Laptop hard drive dead. Is pesonal data recovery possible?

My laptop hard drive just died. My laptop is a Compaq Presario X1000 and I just replaced the laptop in it about 5 months ago with a Hitachi Travelstar HTS541080G9AT00. It was working fine until one day it gave me an error: 1782: disk controller failure. Then the computer won't start.

I talked to HP support and they say it's a hardware problem. I took the hard drive out and put it on my desktop with 2.5" -> IDE -> USB adapter that was worked with other laptop hard drives in the past to recover data. The disk is not detected in my computer at all. Not in disk manager, not in easy recovery pro, not in Windows. Anyway, I am wondering if anybody knows how I can get data off of this hard drive? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
